you can't linger on
with your head on my shoulder
saying i'm so weak for you
it almost lays me out
but how have you been now
i don't feel any older
for all these years with you
for the time i stuck around.
how is it living
further north in the city
i knew you'd be happier before
those sweeping skies
before the moonlight
that lights up the leaves collecting at your door
and it's a cold one
you know i nailed down my curtains
i can't see your eyes in the dimness
nor the unspoken words
but did you find work yet
i know right now nothing is certain
but you say money will come around
and love is for the birds
and how about that wind there
you know it cuts right through you
but it was colder i guess down in that grove
with the sorrowful sounds of the cattle
and the lies we wove

This debut proves SF arrived fully formed and Turtle Taxi built on that. Two absolute gems. Given the time that's passed, I sincerely hope they're not done, but if so, my undying gratitude. It'slove
